    About Tarsha

    Tarsha Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, mood challenges, relationship trouble, and parenting strain. She uses a warm, respectful style and encourages self-direction so people can make the changes they want. Tarsha aims to help clients feel heard and to build practical steps forward.

    She brings eight years as an LPC and many additional years in social services roles. Her undergraduate training in social work introduced her to relationship-focused principles that shape her practice today. Those principles include seeing each person as an individual, allowing the expression of feeling, and supporting self-determination.

    Tarsha uses a person-centered stance so clients set the pace and goals for therapy. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and DBT strategies for managing intense emotions and impulsivity. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when people are deciding on change and want to strengthen their commitment.

    In sessions she aims to be nonjudgmental and realistic about obstacles. Tarsha listens for strengths and helps people turn those strengths into workable plans. She pays attention to how stress shows up at home, at work, and in social life, and she focuses on simple skills that fit daily routines.

    Her practice is grounded in respect and clear communication. Tarsha encourages people to name their goals, try small changes, and review what’s working. She helps clients problem-solve around barriers so progress can continue between appointments.

  2. How her approaches translate to online work

    Tarsha uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what change matters most and to strengthen their commitment. This approach focuses on listening, asking reflective questions, and helping people uncover their own reasons for change, which can be useful for goals like improving health, managing mood, or changing behaviors.

    She also practices Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions are guided by the client’s priorities and paced to match their needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and test unhelpful thoughts and to build small, practical behavior changes that reduce anxiety or improve mood.

    Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and personal preferences rather than using a single fixed plan. Together they try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time.

    Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged. Many people find online therapy makes it easier to fit care into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins on difficult days, or avoid travel time. If you want to focus on moment-to-moment emotion skills, mindfulness, or thought restructuring, these approaches can adapt to remote sessions while still aiming to produce practical, everyday tools.
